[Elecraft] OT: Whole House Generator - Update

[Ken]

Here I am running  the house with a 3000 watt Honda.   We use wood heat 
primarily so the furnace is no issue.  I don't worry about the water 
heater  or kitchen stove.  The microwave is on the transfer switch.  The 
transfer switch is a manually operated with a dozen circuits.

One 3300 sq ft home was happy on 7 KW.  Generator size ranged as you would expect from the portable Honda to the stationary GENERAC & KOHLER units.
